“The move [Egypt joining South Africa's ICJ genocide case against Israel] is an unbelievable diplomatic blow to Israel. Egypt is the cornerstone of our standing in the Middle East. The connections that Israel has in the Middle East and North Africa today, including with Jordan, the UAE and Morocco, is all a result of what Egypt did 40 years ago. With Egypt joining South Africa now in The Hague, it's a real diplomatic punch. Israel would have to take it very seriously. This is what I have been warning about.

We have to look overall in the wider picture, in the long-term security of Israel, not only in the next few weeks in Gaza.”

“An end-of-war declaration could be announced by the foreign affairs minister or head of state. It seems that the South Korean government wanted to declare an end to the Korean War at the Beijing Olympics following a summit. However, if the U.S. diplomatically boycotts the Beijing Winter Games and no U.S. officials attend the event, it would be difficult to announce an end-of-war declaration without the U.S.”
